I guess it depends on how much you like playing in the mud. I mean soup.
My yard finally dried up today. I got the skidder out and did some leveling.

I think I look forward to no more mud now like I looked forward to Christmas as a kid!!

Well heres the first day on the road this spring.


Just over 2500BF in 8 hours including a 1 hour road trip and set up time and i wasnt really working that hard even though I feel like I been run over by a truck. 
Mostly pine 6x6x14 and 4x4x14 wit hall the side lumber in 1X what ever  and then 2 pieces of manitoba maple and a real nice birch log for furniture and lathe stock.  

[Peter Drouin]

That's getting it done, good job

I took a video today now with some more time on the 70.  Kinda pushing a blade that needed to be rolled but I had to get this soft maple done and loaded on the truck tomorrow (I guess now that's today lol) ... youtube kept me up to upload this thing I forgot how long it takes, took over an hour!  I'm off to bed.  Be easy lol

[Andries]

Great milling footage. 
Good setup, nice logs, wonderful mill, everything and everybody is doing their job. 
You're wearing a heavy wool shirt and the "snow" is flying in the shed - made me feel right at home!  :D 
Thanks for taking the time and care to make the Youtube content and sharing it here.
You the Man!

You got bigger, like the green chain, your learnen.

[Darrel]

I like it!

[PAmizerman]

4x4 do you have to shovel your sawdust out by hand?

[4x4American]

4x4 do you have to shovel your sawdust out by hand?

Yup, every day   3-5 yards per day..I place the bucket over the mill and shovel over the mill into it.  It's better than pilates.  Sometimes I stay late here like I am tonight and shovel by myself then load logs, or I get in 1/2hr early and shovel until backup comes and then we knock it out and get to sawing.  I'll be doing something about that soon as I can. Theres so much stuff I need, like to get a roof over my edger so we can cut in peace.  

[TimGA]

Nice setup , lots of hard work there.

[caveman]

Thank you for sharing.  Do you have a Baker rotisserie saw under the other shed?  The way you were driving your LT 70, it looks like you have at least three hours worth of logs on hand.  Your dog probably goes home tired after watching all day.

[Peter Drouin]

A lot of work running a sawmill full-time 4x4, and there's always something to do or get. I'm going to look at a 2013, 35k dies genset in the morning. :
